RadioShack Named No. 1 Electronics Concept and No. 63 Overall in Entrepreneur Magazine's List of the '2012 Franchise 500'

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 1, 2012 // PRNewswire // -- RadioShack Corp. (NYSE: RSH), a leading national retailer of innovative technology products, services and accessories, recently has been named the top electronics franchise concept and No. 63 overall in the annual "Franchise 500" ranking published by Entrepreneur Magazine.

"RadioShack is pleased to receive this recognition for our franchise program," said Marty Amschler, vice president of franchise for RadioShack Corp. "This acknowledgment is evidence of the great support RadioShack provides independent franchise operators — the purchasing power of a national retailer, the personality of a neighborhood merchant, the appeal of a complete line-up of private-brand products and unparalleled training and marketing support. We believe there's never been a better time to join RadioShack as a franchisee."

The 33rd Annual Franchise 500 ranking reveals popular industries and the trends making an impact on their future. All companies, regardless of size, are judged by objective and quantifiable measures of the franchise operation. The most important factors include financial strength and stability, growth rate, and size of the system, according to Entrepreneur Magazine.

Franchise owners benefit from the buying power of a major retail network in the purchase of fixtures, in-store signage and other necessities for starting up a new retail business. RadioShack's low start-up cost and access to high-quality products under private and national brands represent a true value in franchising with a nationally recognized retailer.

RadioShack has approximately 4,700 company-operated stores across the United States and Mexico, 1,500 wireless phone centers in the United States and 1,100 locations in its dealer-franchise network worldwide. Since the launch of its first independent dealer/franchise location in 1968, RadioShack has committed more than 40 years of experience to the development of traditional and emerging franchise support programs.
